This is an older article, but I'm guessing the points are still accurate.
Free Public WiFi

It seems more opinion than fact, but if its on the internet its got to be true, right? :)

I'll sometimes see a Free Public WiFi also and never had luck using it - I've jsut stopped trying just in case it is collecting data.
